to castlewood via transit, then back via father's house - including love trail up and down at castlewood

Minimal warmup and cooldown, 1:17:09 for score O. Turns out I missed a difficult control (18) so I 'DQ'd', at least in my mind since all the controls were quite doable. Just didn't see it on the map when I planned my course. Plus I came to where 13 was supposed to be and didn't see it so moved on. Still a fun day, and it felt like a good run.

very, very slow

yoga

running drills

3 x 800 2 pavilions loop in Wilmore Park. slow and tired, 3:15+/.

Throw one bike race into the weekly training mix and it really seems to change everything.

errands, meeting at Lemp Brewery

scrabble

stretching, running and strength drills

1200 x 5 w/ 1:00 rest between:
5:18, 5:21, 5:16, 5:13, 5:19
(5:20 is 7:07 pace, 5:13 is 6:57)

felt redeeming after Sundays botched run...

to Big Shark bike shop and back.

easy ride to local harvest and then to nursing home

idea was to sneak in a quick cx race and then do my long run. didn't quite work out that way. rode from bus stop in fenton to race. lined up in the back of the C race, since I haven't really done any hard bike riding at all. race went as well as could be expected, ended up just behind some old guys who had beat me in the past when I was actually in better bike shape, so that was encouraging.

Then rode into Chubb and back out. rode some technical stretches pretty well. This was all with a pack of stuff and 2 race wheels bungeed to the pack.

West Tyson: Ouch, walk, jog walk jog. Jack Daniels kept dancing in front of my eyes "Do cross training if it doesn't take energy away from your running". Oh boy.

then ran back on chubb to bike, dog tired.
